Biotechnology 

Department of 

Biotechnology 

Overview 

Biotechnology is the application of biological organisms, system or process to produce substances or 

process useful to mankind. New and modern biotechnology grew out of advances in biological sciences 

such as genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry and information technology. 

Teaching and research in the field of biotechnology must be strengthened in Pakistan not only to assimilate 

the progress made in the world but also to undertake research for solving our own specific problems. This 

would be possible only by producing well-trained scientific manpower in our country. It is therefore urgently 

required that well- planned academic programs in biotechnology are incorporated in our education system. 

Realizing the importance of strengthening teaching and research in this field, Lahore College for Women 

University, Lahore has established a state of the art Biotechnology department to cater the challenges of 

21st century. This department will hopefully help in producing well-trained professionals who shall be instrumental 

in establishing and developing this crucial science and technology in Pakistan. Therefore, a great 

deal of attention must be paid to human resources and infrastructure development. We try to provide our 

students as well as faculty members most intellectually stimulating environment for their academics and 

research. We aim to work hard to do potential research in the field of Biotechnology.

Physics 

Physics 

Overview 

Physics is an existing intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our 

knowledge about nature. It generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological 

advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world. It contributes to the technological 

infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and 

discoveries. Physics is an important element in the education of chemists, engineers and computer scientists, 

as well as practitioners of the other physical and biomedical sciences. Physics extends and 

enhances our understanding of other disciplines, such as the earth, agricultural, chemical, biological, 

environmental science, astrophysics and cosmology subjects of substantial importance to all peoples of 

the world. It also improves our quality of life by providing the basic understanding necessary for developing 

new instrumentation and techniques for medical applications, such as CT scan, magnetic resonance 

imaging, positron emission tomography, ultrasonic imaging and laser surgery, nano medicine and drug 

delivery system. 

The department of Physics was established in 1951. Mrs. Hajra Khan was the first head while Miss 

Naeema Mohsin, Mrs. Qaisra Shiraz Khan and Prof. Mrs. Yasmeen Ali were the other former heads of 

Physics department. Presently Dr. Rehana Zia is head of Physics department. 

B.Sc classes were started in 1958 and later B.Sc (Hons) classes were conducted in the 1960’s. M.Sc 

program was started in 1966. Ph. D program has been successfully launched in 2003. Currently department 

enrolls students for 4 year BS (Physics) program, 2 year MS (Physics) and Ph. D program
